77's Washington DC flightpath.

Advertisements [?]

I've been PMing with Make7 and talking about the flightpath of 77 into the Pentagon.

As far as I know, this is the presumed flightpath of 77 over Washington enroute into the Pentagon. I believe it was based on a radar tracking of 77....perhaps from the operator who remarked that it seemed like it was manuvering like a jet fighter?

But if you look at this picture of the Pentagon and it's orientation to Ron Reagan Airport, it is obvious that the map is not correct. The actual flightpath is around 90 degrees off on the bearing. If 77 came into Washington over the White House, the turn would have been a lot tighter, closer to 180 degrees.

Do we really have a definitive map of 77's Washington DC fightpath?
